This might be stretching it, but here goes.
What if the mailing list manager used the information stored in its
database to only send one copy of a message to each user. When it readies
to send a message, it would take the Message-ID of the letter, compares it
to a list of duplicates, and only sends one copy to the users preferred
default mailing list?
Would this take too much CPU time to figure out? Am I making any
sense?
